This, though my oldest name, is now primarily a review-and-favoriting account.

All work indefinitely on hold. Inactive LJ under the name artemis_winter.

Fandom interests: mostly sci-fi, fantasy and anime.

I'm known as Artemis Winter elsewhere, but kept this name here out of nostalgia. And since someone asked-- yes, I'm female. No Artemis Fowl here.

I'll be happy to answer any intelligent questions or have a chat, but my days in any fandom are over, though I carry an unadmitted fondness for a few fandoms that I jumped ship from after they were bastardized by the mainstream.

It's been a long time since Koh added a child's face to his collection. He just didn't expect it to be that of a little blind girl and that the Avatar would once again come haring after the face of a loved one. Taang. Now a drabble series.

Deidara & Sakura. He was peculiar and a little too observant for her tastes, but he was also alone, just like her, at the fault of this supercilious war. So she would dance with him, just until they could both forget how much they had lost.
